Guan Yu comforted himself, naturally he wanted to make his act of killing his son easier. />
He clamored for revenge, but all he could do was to defend this lonely city and continue to endure hardships.
However, Yan Liang was not in a hurry to conquer Liyang. He surrounded and refused to attack, just to let Guan Yu kill his son. The news that Liu Bei refused to save him continued to spread to Hebei, letting everyone in the Han Dynasty know that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were sworn brothers.
What heinous things have they done?
Spring has passed, and the siege of Liyang City has entered its eighth month.
All the tens of thousands of people in Liyang City had been eaten by Guan Yu. At this time, the Han army was completely in a desperate situation of running out of food.
In the lobby of the military mansion, the atmosphere was heavy.
Chen Qun and other generals all looked pale, with cold sweat rolling down their foreheads from hunger.
They were once disgusted by cannibalism, but now they were hungry and missed the fragrant taste of human flesh soup.
Looking back, everyone was secretly swallowing their saliva.
After a while, Guan Yu walked into the lobby and sat at the top.
In the entire Liyang City, Guan Yu was the only one who still had a glowing face. During the eight months of siege of the city, he did not lose a single ounce of meat. On the contrary, after not going to the battlefield for a long time, his belly was still slightly fat.
As soon as Guan Yu arrived, all the generals complained to Guan Yu one after another. They all said that the "military rations" were exhausted, the mood of the soldiers was unstable, and the morale of the army began to be turbulent.
Looking at the noisy generals in the hall, Guan Yu frowned, showing disgust.
"Stop arguing any more!" Guan Yu slammed the table and shouted.
The hall suddenly became silent, everyone closed their mouths and did not dare to say any more.
Guan Yu snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "Who said that our military rations have been exhausted. There are obviously still many military rations that have not been eaten."
And military rations?
The generals looked at each other in confusion.
The people in the city had obviously been eaten up, and there was no surplus rations. Naturally, the generals had no idea what Guan Yu meant.
At this time, Guan Yu said coldly: "Chen Shizhong, I would like to ask you, approximately how many wounded soldiers are there in our army?"
Chen Qun was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Yan Liang asked about this. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "There are about five thousand wounded soldiers in our army."
"Then how many of these five thousand men have lost their combat effectiveness and can no longer fight?" Guan Yu asked again.
"There are about three thousand people with broken legs, broken arms, and serious injuries. These three thousand wounded soldiers can no longer go to the battlefield." Chen Qun answered truthfully.
Guan Yu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Since there is no way to go to the battlefield again, then we should be no different from the common people. All these people can be used as military rations."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
Only then did everyone realize that Guan Yu actually wanted to slaughter his wounded soldiers to use them as military rations.
"General Hussar, this must not be done." Chen Qun urged.
Guan Yu frowned and asked in displeasure, "Why not?"
"In the past, the soldiers ate human flesh. Although they had no choice but to eat human flesh, after all, they only ate the common people. But if they are eating wounded soldiers now, they are eating comrades who live with the soldiers day and night. This will inevitably arouse the extreme excitement of the soldiers.
A big antipathy. If it leads to disaster, everything will be over."
Chen Qun's impassioned speech also spoke to the minds of the other generals.
After all, you can barely live with eating people you don't recognize, but if you eat people you know, the psychological barrier will be extremely difficult to overcome.
This is also the reason why people exchange children for each other during times of famine, eating each other's children instead of eating their own children.
Guan Yu didn't care about so many things, he only said coldly: "How can I not know what you said, but at this point, in order to survive, in order to defend Liyang, let alone his former comrades, even his own biological father
, you must eat it too.”
Hearing these cold words, all the generals in front of the general hall were frightened and frightened.
"I have made my decision. You don't need to say any more, it's settled." Guan Yu waved his hand fiercely and made his decision without any doubt.
Guan Yu was so iron-blooded that no one dared to complain again, for fear that they would suffer the same fate as Guan Xing, so they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
That night, the pitiful screams that had been immersed in Liyang City for several days echoed again.
Those soldiers who fought for Guan Yu and the Han State and were unfortunately wounded were dragged away from the military tents by their comrades, slaughtered like animals, and then distributed to those comrades who had fought side by side to eat.
Liyang City once again turned into a bloody hell.
Although Guan Yu's tactics temporarily filled the stomachs of the soldiers, as Chen Qun said, dissatisfaction among the Han army also spread like a plague.
The soldiers were forced to eat the flesh of their comrades, and all of them resented Guan Yu, and their rebellious hearts were growing crazily.
A few days later, the number of defecting soldiers increased by more than a hundred every day. These Han soldiers, who had been tortured for more than eight months, really couldn't bear Guan Yu and fled across the city one after another in order to survive.
Guan Yu could not prevent his soldiers from defecting, so he could only order his own soldiers and horses to patrol each gate and kill all the rebel soldiers who dared to escape.
Such a thunderous break finally curbed the intensification of the defection. However, just when Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, an urgent report came from the top of the city. It was said that Chen Qun was leading 500 troops of his headquarters to kill from the south gate.
He fled to Chu camp.
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard the news and rushed to the south gate.
When Guan Yu rushed to the south gate line, the war was over. Corpses were everywhere on the south gate line. Chen Qun and hundreds of remaining troops had forced open the city gate and rushed out.
Guan Yu ordered the city gates to be closed to prevent the Chu army from taking the opportunity to attack, while he climbed to the top of the city to watch.
At this moment, Chen Qun was not in a hurry to flee to the Chu camp. Instead, he stationed his troops more than a hundred steps away, calling on the Han soldiers in the city to join him in joining the Chu army.
Guan Yu glared angrily at Chen Qun in the distance, and sternly cursed: "Chen Qun, you are a repeatedly dishonest person. The emperor treats you badly, how dare you betray the great man."
But Chen Qun shouted in a cold voice: "Liu Xuande refused to save you, and you, Guan Yu, are even more insane. I, Chen Qun, had no choice but to abandon you. Guan Yu, I advise you not to be foolish and loyal, and to come with me to surrender to Chu."
"
"Shameless cowards, shoot arrows at me. Shoot these traitors to death!" The angry Guan Yu shouted angrily.
The crossbowmen on the left and right were busy bending their bows and firing arrows at Chen Qun's troops outside the city.
When Chen Qun saw this, he led his troops to the south and escaped from the shooting range before the arrows hit.
Seeing the rebels fleeing far away, Guan Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred, but had no choice but to beat the city wall with his fists in hatred.
In the Chu camp, Yan Liang quickly received the report of Chen Qun's return. He was not too surprised and only ordered Chen Qun to be brought to the imperial tent.
A quarter of an hour later, the curtain was lifted, and a haggard and hungry-looking Chen Qun was brought into the imperial tent.
As soon as they entered the tent, Chen Qun bowed his head and came forward, respectfully saying: "I surrender, Chen Qun, to pay homage to Your Majesty."
Yan Liang looked down at the kneeling Chen Qun on the ground with cold eyes, and did not give him a good look.
Chen Qun can be described as a real wallflower.
When Liu Bei first became the shepherd of Xuzhou, Chen Qun was loyal to Liu Bei. After Lu Bu captured Xuzhou, Chen Qun switched his allegiance to Lu Bu. When Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, Chen Qun calmly loyal to Cao Cao.
When Yan Liang captured Hedong, Chen Qun, who was on an envoy to Hebei, was cut off from his return trip and immediately defected to Liu Bei.
But now, the city of Liyang was defeated only in Danxi, and Chen Qun decisively chose to betray Liu Bei and seek refuge with himself.
Chen Qun is indeed a rare "person who understands current affairs".
What's more, the person in front of me is the initiator of the "Nine-Rank Officials Law". It is this method of choice to safeguard the interests of the family that has created an era in which the family has monopolized state power for hundreds of years. And this era is exactly the time when the Five Husbands disrupted China, and China
The darkest era in history.
For such a person, it is strange that Yan Liang can have such a good face.
Seeing that Yan Liang ignored him, Chen Qun, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed a little embarrassed, so he kowtowed and repeated: "Your Majesty, Chen Qun, pays homage to your Majesty."
"Chen Qun, why didn't you surrender earlier or later? You came to surrender just before I was about to break the city. It was just the right time for you to surrender." Yan Liang sneered sarcastically.
Chen Qun's face turned red with embarrassment, and he could only murmur: "I have always wanted to submit to Your Majesty earlier, but Guan Yu controlled the city very tightly, and I saw an opening, so I was able to fight my way out of the city and surrender."
His Majesty."
"Fuck your mother!" Yan Liang cursed angrily with a "foul language".
Chen Qun was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face full of shock.
He originally thought that with his status, Yan Liang would be very happy to surrender now, but he did not expect that Yan Liang would be so rude to him.
"You idiot, if I hadn't laid siege to the city for eight months, forced you to eat all the human flesh, and were about to be cornered, would you have surrendered to me?" Yan Liang asked sarcastically.
"Your Majesty, minister..." Chen Qun was frightened and embarrassed, and was so panicked that he didn't know how to respond.
"I heard that Liu Bei's "Nine Grades of Officials" was the one you presented, right?" Yan Liang asked coldly.
Chen Qun didn't dare to hesitate and nodded quickly.
"Only someone like you can come up with this short-sighted method of selecting officials. If I keep you in Chu State, you will be in trouble later." Yan Liang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he waved his hand and said, "Come here, please
Chen Qun was dragged out and beheaded by me."
Chen Qun was shocked and couldn't believe his ears. He thought that it would be fine if he wasn't treated well by Yan Liang, but he didn't expect that Yan Liang would actually kill him.
"Your Majesty, spare your life. I really sincerely surrender to the Chu State. Please tell me for your Majesty's advice." Chen Qun shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I am not Liu Bei. I don't need a walleye like you under my command. What are you waiting for? Drag this guy down for me." Yan Liang was extremely cold.
The soldiers on the left and right rushed up fiercely and dragged Chen Qun out like a pig or a dog.
Chen Qun howled and screamed, and was dragged all the way to the school grounds. His head was pressed on a wooden stake, and the swordsman's sword was raised high.
"How could this happen? I, Chen Qun, am extremely talented and an unparalleled talent among Wang Zuo. How could Yan Liang not use me? How could he kill me? Why on earth is this?"
Chen Qun was filled with grief and fear, and asked himself in pain and confusion.
"Why, why~~"
Amid the screams, the sword whizzed down, and with a "pop" sound, Chen Qun's round head rolled down into the mud.
